I just launched my first game in 19 years! About bloody time! :D My first ever game in Unreal! I am more than just a little excited to share my vision with the world! Enjoy it, all! :D

@whatdahopper@TimSweeneyEpic Huh? Just tell me X is left/right, Z is in/out of the screen and Y is up, then I'll let you clever people care about what you call it :P
I just published a new post on my @buymeacoffee The future, almost here...
How does this sound to you?
Cross platform / device data syncing + cross game communication + cross game engine data syncing.
Interesting or not really?

@TheOnly_Anti @xar294@Legend_Ori I have the definitive answer to this debate! ๐
If you are employed as such then you are, if not then you have to #MakeOneToBeOne
That is a perfect TL;DR of my opinion.
Aspiring ppl TRY to be game devs
Game devs ARE because they already made something 2 qualify them as such
@TheOnly_Anti @xar294@Legend_Ori lol... by that logic, anyone who ever cut their finger by accident is also a qualified surgeon, just not a good one.... but at least they cut into human flesh so that deserves a title. ๐Nah, in the case you explained they are "aspiring" for sure
@BigDiceDave@Legend_Ori Have you ever done so? TL;DR: If you have ever worked on a game then you are. If you're only dreaming of doing so then no. Simple. ๐
Of course, this is just my opinion. I actually agree with that reply that basically said: "Who cares?" ๐
@BigDiceDave@Legend_Ori Let me go you one better... I created a bunch of games that are no longer available to download. I created other people's games but apart from 1 I am not credited. For the past 3 years I have used a games engine to create non-game software. Am I still a game dev? Hmmm... ๐
@Legend_Ori true that. I think another reply I just left says it better:
If you are employed in the game industry then your job title removes any ambiguity. I figured your OP was about those n00bs trying to make their first title. Job or game binary. Have either one or bust...
@xar294@Legend_Ori Anyone employed with a job title of "game dev" (or similar) is clearly whatever their job title is... That cannot be argued. If you just discovered Unity on Monday and plan on starting one day, are you a dev? You R a dev once you have something to show even if only a job title :P
